Abandoning PRs does not work as expected with multiple updates in one repository

See original GitHub issue

Hello!

I like the new ‘Abandon outdated PRs’ feature but it seems like it doesn’t work well with monorepos that have multiple projects to update.

We notice that dependabot will create a PR to update a dependency in one project on our repo, but then immediately abandon it when it goes to the next package in the repo. Right now there are zero updates from dependabot. We don’t observe this behavior in repos that contain only one project to update.

Additional Information

The affected repo contains multiple Dart / Flutter packages. We are using the pub package ecosystem in Dependabot.
We are using Dependabot for Azure Devops version 1.13.378
Our monorepo also has no lock files included in source control, could this actually be the issue?

Thank you for reporting this. Indeed working in a mono repo wasn’t considered, especially for different ecosystems or different directories. An attempt to fix this was made in #447 but clearly there’s more scenarios. You can opt out using the new input in #448.

I will keep this issue open as other alternatives are looked into. Maybe other similar reports will provide more insight. Could even be a contribution.

#478 was only meant to solve #466 not this one. There’s still no viable fix or workaround for closing unwanted PRs when there are multiple updates in the same repository. Contributions are welcome.

As regards the title, you have a valid concern. Thanks for raising it, I will update.
